Training Week in Review

Taper! No training this week. There wasn't anything I could do this week to help me on Sunday. All I could do is rest and let the anticipation fuel my energy levels for Sunday.

09/20/11	Tuesday	Rest
09/21/11	Wednesday	Cycle - Spin
09/22/11	Thursday	Rest
09/23/11	Friday	Rest - Travel
09/24/11	Saturday	Run - 3 Mile Easy
09/25/11	Sunday	Race - Augusta 70.3 Half Ironman

Below are my goals for Augusta 70.3.

This is my A race & last tri of the year, so I'm going to give it everything I got. Primary goal is to beat my Gulf Coast time. I've been working on my nutrition and I shouldn't have the issues I had at Gulf Coast, so beating my time won't be a problem.


Specific Goals: 

Swim: 30-35 minutes
I'd be happy to finish in 35 minutes and take 2 minutes off my time from Gulf Coast (37:36). April (swim coach) feels that with the current I can do better and be closer to 30 minutes. Going to try for 30!


Bike: As close to 3 hours or better
Around 18 - 19 mph, but effort based on HR. (Gulf Coast 3:14:28)


Run: 8-8:15 pace or 1:45 - 1:50 time.


Transitions: 3 minute  or faster transitions

Overall Finish: 5:30:00  (Gulf Coast 6:25:03)


Next post will be the race report with all the detail from the weekend.
